“Andy said the key was to keep focused on the next opponent, and that’s what he did”, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said.

“I definitely wanted to play at some point before getting back out there in the playoffs just because you can say it’s like riding a bike, it’s just playing football, but nothing compares to live game reps and the speed of the game”, he said. “He can do a lot of things with his feet and that’s one thing you have to worry about as a pass rusher is make sure that you’re rushing the quarterback with being smart about keeping those lanes so he can’t get out and run”. “I think it’s a combination of good coaching and great players”.

As it is, though, the Chiefs’ running game will be too much too overcome for the Texans, as the Chiefs advance to the divisional round in a close game.
